'...entering administration after the fourth Thursday in March...' are the relevant words.

Bit more about the effect of the sun here: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/08jan_sunclimate/

A team cannot start a second successive season in administration, nor can they spend more than 18 months in administration. I don't know what happens if they break these condiitions.

Too many fingers.

Definitely should have been disallowed, but that is up to the officials. Once the ball has hit him on the hand and is rolling into goal then anybody would have followed it up. Just poor refereeing.

'Man playing football gets hit on the head by the ball'. It happens countless time on Sunday mornings in your local park. I remember Paul Scholes hammering the ball at a Saints player a few years ago. Not a dicky bird from anyone. That was a frustrated slice and not intentional. Bunch of Northern softies.

So this young lad wants to fly to the moon to prove that it isn't possible? One thing I do know is that for only $200m dollars it certainly isn't possible. Pap, you are right to question every piece of evidence and information that is offered to you. As an engineer myself (that is a Chartered Design Engineer, not a boiler-mender) I have learnt to examine everything that I come across. Sometimes you can determine its veracity very quickly, at other times you need a more thorough examination. I am quite satisfied that the moon ladings were genuine, indeed the claims of the hoaxists are so trivial that they don't bear a moment's examination and seem to be based on a very meagre understanding of the physics involved. As for man-made global warming, well that's a different story. ;-)

21 degrees, clear skies and a beautiful calm ocean out here in mid-atlantic. If this is post-apocalyptic then I'm quite happy.

This thread has diverted away from serious scientific argument and degenerated into name-calling.There's only a couple of days left until the world comes to and end and we still haven't analysed and debunked more than a couple of the arguments. I have limited internet access and I am on holiday so please, what's next?

I'm on the Aurora, which is full of geriatrics and only few young families, so there should be plenty of fresh meat to go round, even if it is a bit chewy. We should have enough fuel to get halfway round the world, what's left of it. If not, then they will all have to get out in the lifeboats to give us a tow and start rowing.

I shall be mid-Atlantic on a cruise ship so I should be ok as far as tsunamis and zombies are concerned. What should I look out for?

Thinking about it, it's probably best to spread your DNA as widely as possible. Better start now.

But they do sweep from the window to the interior. I don't think the lens is covered up.

It is 2/4 but divide top and bottom by 2 to make it simpler. Another question- should vulgar fractions be taught to young children?

Looks ok to me. High mass, low G. The flashes could be anything, even cosmic rays.

Can you explain that decimals are in fact fractions with a denominator of 10, 100 etc.?

The only time that it would have been 'live' is when it actually happened and everything since then is produced from some form of magnetic tape. I don't think there was any form of deliberate lying, rather that in a project of this length I would expect some discrepancies. In fact, if it were too perfect I would be suspicious. There's a good book about spying in WW2 called 'Between Silk and Cyanide' by Leo Marks where he explains that the coded messages we were receiving from Europe had no mistakes in them at all whereas the operatives would have been working under extreme constraints so he knew that they must be coming from the enemy. There is one sequence where they point the camera through the window and gradually zoom in to the Earth.

Is that pronounced 'viral'?

Oh no! If Spud has gone it must have already started.

Watch out for zombie raisins. They can be vicious little bastards.

Because twice 0.5 is one. Write 0.5 as 0.5/1 Multiply top and bottom by 2 ...gives 1/2

Shouldn't we see the game first before deciding what it's worth?

So what's the point? Also, you can't have a live recording. It doesn't surprise me that the transcript and the prepared video recording don't agree, but what does it prove?

But if everybody's dead then what will the zombies feed on? This might be the last time they get to rise up and have a rest, so in a sense it's an apocalypse for them too. :-( This hasn't been thought through properly.

Congratulations, it couldn't happen to a nicer couple.
